The Supreme Court’s 1945 decision in Korematsu v, United States, which upheld President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Japanese internment program as constitutional, still technically stands.And the Guantánamo Bay detention facility has spent well over a decade as a symbol of the flimsiness of constitutional guarantees of due process. No matter how clear the text of the Constitution might appear, Clark is right about one thing: During wartime, the pretense of free speech protection has a tendency to evaporate.
